Our upcoming trip is our third as a family, and I must confess there are "major" attractions we've still never done and probably won't do.

MK -
Splash Mountain - 1st trip 60 minute wait, 2nd trip I was pregnant, 3rd trip refurb
Festival of Fantasy Parade - 1st trip kiddo nap time, 2nd trip replaced by Holiday parade, 3rd trip nap time again with new baby
The MK Opening Show - overslept, EMH, PPO breakfast.

Epcot -
Test Track - 1st trip skipped Epcot (weekend only), 2nd trip pregnant, 3rd trip prioritizing FEA FP for kids

HS -
All of the shows except Fantasmic

AK -
Dinosaur

That's my list, what's yours?
 
I have never done Enchanted Tales with Belle. Is that a major attraction?
 
I'll post here because it's quite embarrassing lol.

MK -
Space Mountain - because I am a wuss
7DMT - because I am a wuss and so is my DD - we hope to rectify at least this one on our upcoming trip
Splash Mountain - see above.

Epcot -
Test Track - because I am a wuss and motion sickness issues

HS -
Rock N RC - see above
TOT - see above

AK -
EE - see above

The only bonus to all of this is that...I usually get to ride my faves more than once lol
 
I'm not embarrassed about attractions we haven't tried. We try to only do things we have a genuine interest in.

By contrast, here is a list of popular attractions that I can't believe I ever allowed myself to be talked into:

MK: Tiki Birds (what was I thinking?)

Epcot: Mission Space Orange (never again)

Blizzard Beach: Summit Plummet (why do I always feel the need to prove myself?)

Typhoon Lagoon: Humunga Kowabunga (Ouch!!!)

Animal Kingdom: I tried a Dole Whip. Biggest waste of $4 ever.

Not quite "major" attractions but popular ones all the same-

MK: Buzz Lightyear, Enchanted Tales with Belle, Philharmagic :oops:
Epcot: Living with the Land, Journey with Figment :sad:
AK: Primeval Whirl, Finding Nemo show
HS: Most of the shows & Tower of Terror (you guys, i'm terrified! I feel like i need to do this for the theming though. Might ride this September :o if I can work up the nerve)

You can conquer fear through knowledge. Just remind yourself that Tower of Terror is on hydraulics, so you're not really falling at all. You're being pushed and pulled. You're always resting on a massive metal support beam. It helps to remind myself that because I'm scared of heights and really hate the sensation of falling, but my son really likes this ride. The theming is great, as well- love the Twilight Zone. I also find that closing your eyes before the drops start can help. In fact, that's the only way I've ever ridden it...

Mission Space -- I read about the feeling it creates and have no interest. Have does everything else. :)
 
I have not missed or skipped anything at any park. However, there are some things that I have only done once and have no great desire to repeat. For example, the orange side of Mission Space and the Lion King show at Animal Kingdom. Both of those were a one and done for me.
 
MK
SDMT
Enchanted Tales with Belle
Tea Cups
Aladin
Astro Orbiter

Epcot
Mission Space Orange

DHS
RnRC

AK
EE

I can't do roller coasters any more. The motion doesn't agree with my equilibrium any more.
 
I have never ridden Rockin Roller Coaster - probably will have to next trip because DD14 won't have anyone to ride with. We have a deal that I will ride that with her if she rides TOT with me (or at least stands in line and exits before the elevator). Have not ridden Kali River Rapids - not worth being soaked. My daughter and son love it though. We haven't done Pandora yet or FEA but will in December. I think we have pretty much done everything else in the parks at least once. Oh, except FOW - I WILL see that this trip.

I will say it took us 6 trips to ride Space Mountain. My boys had ridden it on earlier trips when my daughter was too short, or scared. It was down when we were there every trip after my daughter was tall enough up until last year - Even in 2014 when we went to Disneyland - Space Mountain: Down.
 
Test track. It seems to break down every time I try to ride.

Mission Space, primeval whirl, tea cups- I get sick.


Probably many of the shows. I'm not a show person.

I am with you on the Tiki Birds - My daughter and I decided we had to try that last year. We were amazed that it was popular. We got a good laugh out of it though.
 
Space Mountain at the Magic Kingdom. Just hasn't been a priority for a FP+ or standby, but I'll do it someday. I've been on the version at Disneyland many times, and also on the Matterhorn at Disneyland (which is reportedly a similar attraction).
 
Another Splash Mountain and Dinosaur here. Not due to any sort of special circumstances, I'm just a wimp who waits at the exit for my group. I hate scary, huge AAs (even with the yeti in disco mode, I ride that part of EE with my eyes closed!) and despise water rides with big hills. Got talked into IOA's version once and it was even worse than I had imagined. Pirates is about as big of a water drop as I can handle.

Oh, I also left halfway through It's Tough To Be A Bug the first one I saw it, and I've never gone back. I was about 12/13 the first time and responsible for our touring plan at AK. I didn't put it on there because bugs, ew. My family insisted though. I got to be right - none of them have been to that attraction since then either, and I'll never get the popularity of that show.
 
I'm a wuss who has never done Tower of Terror, Rock & Rollercoaster or Mission Space either color.

If the MK opening show or Belle's Enchanted Tales are major attractions, I haven't done them either.
